At Bryce Canyon’s Lodge
The Bryce Canyon Dining Room located in the Bryce Canyon National Park Lodge is one of the best establishments to enjoy fine dining. The atmosphere is relaxed, boasting a simple elegance from the 1930s. It’s open for breakfast, lunch as well as for dinner and serves a good selection of starters and main courses. The lunch menu features specialties like salmon burgers and club sandwiches. They’re both superbly prepared. But during dinner, the dining room turns into a corner for romance and special occasions. Candle light adorns the tables and both stone fireplaces are lit. The mood is set as guests savor entrees like grilled trout, slow cooked loin of pork or saloon steak cooked in Bourbon. But if you’re a vegetarian, you need not be concerned. The list of signature dishes is exciting. Among the well-liked are the Portobello mushroom steaks and the garden gnocchi. You can accompany your meal with any of the international wines offered or a beer from the local micro breweries.

Tip: If you’re planning to spend the day hiking and would like a special treat for a picnic, the restaurant will prepare box lunches. Make sure to ask for dessert. The selection is decadent.
